► The effect of scanning size was investigated on the statistical reliability in EBSD measurements. ► The rolling texture of disordered FePd alloys was compared using EBSD and X-ray diffraction techniques. ► Correlation coefficient was employed to quantify the similarity of the orientation density profile along the α- and β-fibers. In this work, textures measured by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and X-ray diffraction in rolled FePd alloys were compared. The effect of scanning size used for EBSD measurements was investigated. The correlation coefficient was first proposed to quantify the similarity of the orientation density profile along the α- and β-fibers after cold rolling. The correlation coefficient is approximately 1 for a scanning step range of 1–20μm after 50% and 88% reduction. A large scanning step can capture the main components of the macrotexture in EBSD measurements. Thus, the macrotexture measured by EBSD provides another method for the quality control of texture.
